Matt Hensley

From the Flogging Molly email list:

Hello FM Faithful!

It's been awhile since our last update and we have lots of great news to share with you.

We are thrilled to be able to tell you that Matt Hensley is back with Flogging Molly on a full time basis!

Matt's decision to return was a very welcome one for us and we're glad that he's back in our family where he belongs. Matt's already played a few shows and has been in Ireland with us recording our next album at Grouse Lodge Studios in County Westmeath.

We're working with co-producer/engineer/mixer extraordinaire Ryan Hewitt, whose credits include Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, Alkaline Trio, Cat Power and Pepper among others. We've had a great time and can't wait to share the new music with you.

The new album should be out during the first quarter of 2008 in time for our annual Green 17 Tour so check our website often for tour updates and release date news.

2008 promises to be a great year with Matt back and a new album on the way!

We'll be back in the States for a handful of shows in December before the holidays.
